    .40 caliber GM barrel

    I did the 32 .40 barrel after holding someones that was sporting the 38 incher...No thank you! The 32 is plenty heavy in its own right.

    Confused about Powder Horns

    Clubs and mst rondy's that I have participated at typically state in the ground rules " no direct loading from horn/flask to barrel" and the use of a seperate measure or holding device as a step between horn/flask and barrel is the rule.
